We recommend that you move the baptistry into place and then fill it.
Our portable baptistries weigh around pounds and hold about gallons of water depending on model. Water weighs about 8 pounds per gallon so figure on your full baptism pool weighing around 1, — 1, pounds. How to Drain Your Portable Baptistry? Both the 6P and 6PXL portable baptistries come standard with a built in drain valve. You can simply connect a standard garden hose to the drain and empty the water to an interior drain or outside. You will want to empty the baptistry after each use for sanitary reasons, unless your portable baptismal pool has our PPO finish which allows water to be left in the tub for extended period.
If water is left in the portable baptistry you will want to treat it with regular pool chemicals to help keep the water sanitary. You can also purchase a submersible pump from you local home improvement store for a faster draining option.
Can I leave the baptistry on the wheel kit when full of water? We do not recommend that you do this since as mentioned above the baptistry with water in it will weigh between 1, — 1, pounds. You will want to remove the portable baptistry from the wheel kit prior to filling it with water. We do offer an option to add an additional set of heavy duty casters to the wheel kit at additional cost if you plan to use the baptistry on a concrete floor.
What is included with the Portable Deluxe package? The Portable Baptistry Deluxe Package is the popular choice for most of our customers because it comes with everything you need in the base package to start baptizing right away. It includes an unfinished oak cabinet with lid, external steps, and cross mounted to the front of the cabinet , wheel kit made from welded angle iron and heavy duty locking casters , factory plumbed BES Series, Hydro Quip, circulation heater with built in GFI plugs into standard outlet, no special wiring is required , built in drain valve, and your choice of our standard tub colors blue, white or bone.
Can I purchase the portable baptistry without a cabinet? Yes, we offer a frame only option in both the 6P and 6PXL model portable baptismal pools. The frame only option gives you the ability to enclose the tub in a finish that may suite the interior of your building better than our standard cabinet options.
Exterior steps are not included with the frame only option but can be purchased separately. Can I leave the wood top on the portable baptistry while the heater is heating the water or if water remains in the tub for extended periods of time?
No, the wood top is not designed to be subjected to moisture for long periods of time and will cause warping of the top. If the top warps as a result of this it is not covered under the warranty. What is the difference between the 6P and 6PXL? Fully automatic systems will have a special sylenoid activated valve that utilizes a wall port.
Make sure to locate wall ports low enough so they don't cause water to splash out of the unit when filling.
